DHTMLX Touch 1.0 Released

DHTMLX Touch support and development was discontinued when all DHTMLX components became adaptive.

We are excited to announce the official release of DHTMLX Touch v.1.0, a JavaScript mobile framework for building HTML5-based web apps. This update offers more stable performance, better platform compatibility, and extended customization options.

We haven’t changed the license terms, so you are welcome to download the latest version of the DHTMLX Touch framework and use it for free to create great looking web apps for mobile and touch devices. Version 1.0 provides a set of new features that simplify the development of HTML5 interfaces.
